The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

A spatial plane suddenly appeared beneath the tyrant's feet!

A whooshing sound filled the air!

The tyrant's figure instantly transformed into a blur, unleashing a sonic shock that tore through the air.

Like a bolt of lightning, it chased after the trajectory of the Void Elemental and thrust towards Fu Hei.

The speed of the two stars is now vastly different from what it used to be.

After the bodies of the two Heavenly Emperors and Tyrants merged, his speed reached a completely new level, breaking through the limits of the physical body and touching the edge of the laws of physics.

He had barely caught up with the imaginary energy that was already halfway through its journey, and was able to reach the front of it before the purple light touched the blackness.

"Did you ultimately choose to save your son?"

Seeing the five extremely evil creatures leave him, he burst into laughter, overjoyed at surviving such a calamity.

He thought he had won the gamble, that Shen'er was ultimately held back by emotions, and that the ruthless sorcerer-assassin had finally succumbed to paternal love.

Unexpectedly, a cold whisper ended his laughter, and came again from ahead, calm and firm:

"I will protect Hui."

"And that will take your life!"

"Ha, you think you can take it?"

Extremely Evil Five spoke sarcastically, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You'd rather use the Heavenly Reversal Blade to dispel the illusion, but you can't just throw the Heavenly Reversal Blade at me like a flying knife!"

He had calculated everything.

If Shen Er wants to save Fu Hei, he must use the Heavenly Reversal Blade to dispel the Void Formation, thus leaving him with no means to attack himself.

Ultimately, victory in this battle belonged to him; the heavens and the tyrant were ultimately outmaneuvered.

Clang—

Suddenly, a second clanging sound rang out from within the arena, crisp and clear.

"It's... the Wanli Lock!"

The pupils of the five extremely evil creatures suddenly contracted as they looked towards the source of the sound.

The chain that had always been wrapped around Shen'er's waist had already silently snaked out under Shen'er's control.

It meanders and twists in the air, weaving an invisible gallows.

"Impossible! How could you possibly put a noose around my neck from this distance!"

Extremely Evil Five maintained his composure and continued to analyze Shen Er's actions, trying to convince himself with reason.

However, Shen Er only responded with a faint smile.

In an instant, it swallowed the Wanli Lock whole!

Without an observable tail end, the Wanli Lock can instantly extend indefinitely!

The chains, like a giant python that had gained life, broke free of its shackles.

It roared loudly in the air, whistling through the wind, and flew continuously toward the Five Evils.

"No limits..."

Just as the five extremely evil individuals were about to use their limitless techniques to protect themselves, they were shocked to realize that they had already fallen into the spell meltdown.

The continuous activation of his domain and virtual aura had put his spell into a brief dormant period.

Now, apart from the equally weak protective spell, he has no other means of self-defense.

The five evil spirits could only watch as Wanli Lock tightly wrapped around their necks, coiling twice before suddenly tightening!

The cold metal embedded itself in his skin, pressing against his trachea, blocking his breathing, and leaving a deep, bloody gash on his neck.

Veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and his mouth was open but he couldn't take in a breath, only making a hissing sound.

"As long as we can hold on!"

The five extremely evil creatures clung tightly to the Wanli Lock, their ten fingers digging into the gaps in the chains, trying to struggle for a sliver of hope for survival.

The five evil ones thought that as long as they could gain a little breathing space and wait for the spell to end, they could succeed.

He survived.

But how can a body that is almost exhausted stand against the heavens and a tyrant?

"Don't you really like tug-of-war?"

"Then the two of us."

"Let's have a match!"

The tyrant's arm muscles tensed instantly.

The Wanli Lock, which was fastened around the necks of the five extremely evil individuals, shrank instantly.

It was deeply embedded in his flesh, almost breaking his cervical spine and ripping his head off his neck.

And it keeps tightening, tightening again, and tightening even more.

The five evils struggled weaker and weaker, their hands went from gripping to trembling, and from trembling to hanging limply.

His tongue protruded from his mouth, and his face changed from flushed to bluish-purple, then to deathly pale, becoming the color of a corpse.

"you……"

The five most heinous crimes could no longer be uttered as a complete syllable.

"Are you trying to mock me for playing with people's feelings?"

"How rude of you!"

"My relationship with Keiko is purely platonic!"

Then, with renewed force, his head flew off, pulled by the chains.

The neck section was jagged and mangled, with the trachea and blood vessels clearly visible at the cut.

Blood sprayed into the air, like a blooming crimson firework.

The expression on the face of the five extremely evil people was still frozen in the last moment before their death.

Terrified, resentful, and incredulous, as if wanting to say something, but unable to utter a sound.

"I told you, I would take your life."

Shen'er's voice was as calm as still water, as if he had just accomplished a trivial task.

He turned around and looked at the virtual Zizai that was about to explode.

Then, he swung the murderous knife once more.

-

The white light engulfed everything.

The light was intense and pure, turning the whole world into a pure white.

Boundless light filled every inch of space and every corner.

Fu Hei hugged his chest tightly, shrinking his body to reduce the area affected by the impact.

He could feel the air around him vibrating violently, he could feel the approaching breath of death, and he could feel his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

But it felt like a long time had passed, and the expected impact still hadn't hit me.

Fu Hei's emotions shifted from tension to doubt, and from doubt to panic.

He waited a long time, so long that his breathing began to steady, but the fatal impact never came.

Oh my god, is this white light some kind of revolving lantern?

Have I been blown to bits?

Fu Hei panicked when he received no response for a long time.

Should I open my eyes now?

When you open your eyes, you'll see a huge, thunderous airport, and the planes will be about to fly south, so you'll behave yourself.

All sorts of random thoughts flashed through Fu Hei's mind.

After a long internal struggle, Fu Hei mustered his courage.

"After counting to three, open your eyes."

"..."

"three!"

Sneak attack!

Fukuro suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils readjusting to the Okinawa sky.

The blinding white light gradually faded, and the blue sky and white clouds reappeared in his field of vision. The sea breeze, carrying a salty and fishy smell, brushed against his cheeks.

But what came into view was Fu Hei's own perfectly intact hands.

"Didn't I set a constraint?"

"How come it's completely unharmed?"

The arm that Fu Hei was prepared to sacrifice was still intact on his body, without even a scar, as if the restraint had never existed.

Just as Fu Hei was wondering what was going on, a sigh, like the pulling of a broken bellows, came from in front of him:

"What am I doing?"

The voice was weak and hoarse, like a flame about to be extinguished.

Shen Er's voice echoed softly in front of Fu Hei.

Why...?

Looking at the scene before him, at the Apple logo, Fu Hei spoke with trembling hands.

……

In the final moments before the virtual mass exploded, Tian Ni Hou failed to completely eliminate all the hypothetical mass spillover.

The destructive energy split before the blade's tip; one part was neutralized, while the other part, like a fish that slipped through the net, bypassed the blade's surface.

Shen'er's gaze followed the purple light, watching it pass over her shoulder, past her arm which she couldn't retract in time, and rush straight towards the boy.

And that boy who had just exhausted all his magical power and was caught in the spell's meltdown.

What can he use to block it?

"Hui's body definitely can't withstand it."

The thought flashed through Shen'er's mind.

He barely thought, or rather, he had never thought so quickly in his life.

In that instant, Shen Er remembered many things.

After Huizi left, the feeling of bewilderment that washed over Shen'er as he stood alone in the hospital corridor with Huizi in his arms surged up in his heart once again.

This time, Shen'er's body reacted faster than his consciousness.

Just before the virtual light was about to touch Hui, it darted in, blocking the purple light and the boy like a wall.

Even after the right half of his body was completely removed, Shen Er remained unmoved, firmly blocking Hui's path.

"Huizi".

Shen Er's lips moved slightly, silently uttering that name.

The name that occupied the most important place in his life was the woman who taught this cold-blooded killer what love was for the first time.

The woman who left him with this child.

"I've done a good job protecting our children, haven't I?"

Shen'er's gaze fell on Fu Hei again, landing on those eyes that were exactly the same as Huizi's.

His image was reflected in those eyes—a figure with a hole pierced through his chest, covered in blood.

But without a doubt, it was the figure of a father.

She could no longer feel any pain.

He just felt a little tired, as if he had walked a very, very long road and could finally stop and rest.

Everything before my eyes once again overlapped with the fantasies flashing through my mind.

He seemed to see Keiko standing in the light, wearing her favorite white dress, smiling and reaching out her hand to him.

Her smile was still so gentle, so gentle that even Shen'er, whose hands were covered in blood, felt that he could be forgiven.

The tyrant, who had wandered the world his whole life, finally found a safe harbor.

"This body..."

Shen Er looked at his pierced body and smiled helplessly.

"Use it as you like."

Shen'er's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Remember to find a timeline where your mother is alive and well."

Shen'er's voice was already barely audible, as if she were using her last strength to squeeze out a final whisper:

"If I could, it would be nice not to be a sorcerer."

The tyrant fixed his last gaze on Hui.

Those eyes, frozen for a lifetime, finally extinguished in the warmth.
